YungMarxian Posted October 24, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 24, 2016 I'm making this thread to gather clips or names of films, television shows, shorts, etc. that feature aspects of NYC mass transit as a meaningful setting. I'm inspired by the subway scene in La Haine (1996) [dir. Matthiue Kassovitz] and imagine seeing the subways and buses as a focal point to films made by NYC artists and youth. With filmmaking become more and more accessible, we're bound to start seeing the subway in film for what it is: the silver angel that brings so many NYC youths to and from everywhere they go - myself included. I'll add some of my own favorites later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted November 6, 2016 Share #6 Posted November 6, 2016 Practically any TV show or movie based in New York is going to have at least some mention or shot of the subway in some shape or form. If I had to pick one where the subway plays a meaningful presence, I'd say "The Taking of Pelham 123" for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegoBrickBreaker101 Posted November 6, 2016 Share #8 Posted November 6, 2016 I remember seeing a Grand Avenue NG shows up in a scene in Daredevil (the Netflix show, not even gonna acknowledge the movie), and a Fresh Pond NG in Limitless (the TV show). Not sure what the #s of those buses were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
